The Health System Governance and Accountability Act is amended to enable the minister to establish benchmarks for eliminating the use of mandatory overtime for nurses. Operators within the health care system must develop plans for ensuring that they comply with the benchmarks. Related amendments are made to The Licensed Practical Nurses Act and The Regulated Health Professions Act to provide that a refusal by a nurse to work overtime in non-urgent circumstances is not professional misconduct or a breach of the duty to provide care.
